Zombie Death Suns Ate My Planet 2009

A print-and play game for the BGG "Make a Dice Game!" competition.

The playing area starts as an empty star field made up of 25 dice, each representing a solar system. Each player chooses a corner, and turns the die in that corner so their face is uppermost.

Each turn, a player first explores (by picking up any die and placing it back in the same orientation), then conquers (by rolling a adjacent to a system they control and attempting to get their colour on top). Some of the dice have alien civilizations on one side, which can allow additional actions; or black holes, which can cause dice to be removed from play.

One all dice have been conquered, the game ends, and the player who controls the most systems wins the game.
